If demand increases maybe you could double the number of people and get 2hrs studio time and keep the price the same? Just a thought, thanks for the organizing of this, sounds promising!

Sounds like a plan. Maybe we'll just keep it the same and close the list on the 31st.

I'm goiog to start adding peoples custom reads to the listed script. Anyone have a problem with that?

This will ensure I have everyones lines listed when I send the final script.
post #41 of 274
Two Questions Max:

1. Is he going to read "Welcome to the X Theater" for each of us or are we going to have to piece together the name of our Theater with the "Welcome" phrase?
If we have to piece it together then you need to change it from "Welcome to" to "Welcome to the" so we can piece it together correctly.

2. I don't know about everyone else but I hate the pronunciation of "Theater" where people include the "a" and stretch it to 3 syllables. To me it should be 2 syllables and pronounced with a "e" just like "be". What does everyone think?

Sooner works for me. I will be working on my lines and have them to you by Sunday night. Thanks for putting this together Max.

T agree. Theater is theater no thee-a-tor. If someone does not complain we will go with theater.

Everyone is allowed up 30 customized word plus a reading of just thier theater name. I you don't want to piece an into together you can use the into with the name as part of the 30 words. Everyone will still get the generic stuff too incase they want to piece it together.

Finally, since we have 18 ppl now, I am going to close the list on Saturday @ 11:59pm EDT

The list will close at 11:59 pm EDT on Aug 18!

I will then contact everyone via PM with final details.

I had a couple of requests to add home automation narrations. Anyone mind if we open this up to the home automation crowd?
post #47 of 274
Max,
If you add home automation are you going to get another hour like you suggested earlier? I noticed you added some sports names and if you need to fill another hour you could do all of the football and baseball team names for us to piece together.

Actually, the sport's words are from my list. I host a lot of parties for sporting events and will use them as intro's etc. I tried to think of the top 30 or so words that were related and that I could use to piece together into various intro's.

I'm also all for adding team names etc. if the rest of the group is interested.

I'm looking for feedback on the automation and sports. personally I have no use for the sport thing except for the superbowl but it there is enough intrest then we can add it.

I don't want top rasie the price if we don't need to. Also we can always do another disc in the future with the same narrator. Maybe have a few verisons for different audiences.
post #50 of 274
Between my theater name, the generic theater words, etc, and the sports related words that I added from my list, I'm fine. I could always use more (team names etc) but that's up to the rest of the group.

Also, I don't really understand how people are planning to use the home automation stuff. Can someone explain that to me.

Most people that have home-automation systems have a whole-house audio system plus their dedicated theater area.

When a certain thing happens (usually a sensor of some kind is tripped) it can trigger the automation system to do something, such as play a sound.

So, say a car drives over your driveway sensor, it alerts the automation system, and it plays a custom .wav/.mp3 over your whole-house audio system saying "Car in driveway".

Or, say you have a mailbox sensor for when your mail arrives. The sensor trips the automation system, and plays a file that says "Your mail has arrived.."

..and the possibilities are endless.....

Hope this helps explain the idea to you mason.

Hey Guys- Quick question- what software do we use to run and edit the program and what are we using for delivery (dvd player ,htpc)- sounds great ,just not computer savvy thanks,gary
post #53 of 274
For the sports ones, I was probably going to include my favorite sport teams in my custom words... which I need to get added to the list!
post #54 of 274
While I tend to be more of a lurker than a poster.... Please include me in as well!

Also how do we include custom content and what are the limits?

Thanks and what a great idea!

P.S. Oh and count me as a Home Automation fan too so you know how I'd vote when it comes to adding HA words and phrases.

1st Gary, Do you want to be added to the list?

As far as software goes I use Sound forge for editing and then I'm going to have the narrations play directly in my customized trailer. This is can be played back on my htpc or via dvd.

You can have about 30 words of custom stuff plaus a read of you theater's name. This allows you to createa alot of narrations by editing you name and the generics, as well as a few custom lines incase you want something specific.(names, saying, etc.)
